Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye of the music duo, P Square, aka Mr P, has revealed reason some ‘cabals’ want the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi to withdraw from the 2023 general elections.
According to the singer, the cabals see Obi as a threat to their years of selfish subjugation of the Nigerian people.
He said that the 2023 presidential election is no longer about Obi but about the millions of frustrated Nigerians, especially youths who wants to take their anger to the ballot box.
“The Power behind @PeterObi is the pains of millions of Nigerians who deserve a better life but were failed by the corrupt Politicians! This is no longer about @PeterObi. This is about the millions of Frustrated Nigerians/Youths who wants to take their anger to the BALLOT BOX,” Mr. P said in a tweet.
He advised “frustrated Nigerians” to take their anger to the ballot box during the 25 February, 2023 presidential election.
“The cabals and beneficiaries of the corrupt state of Nigeria do not want to see it change. It does not matter whether they’re Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa, when it comes to ensuring power remains with them, they unite against Nigerians! Now that the Youths are United they are afraid.
Nigerians have continued to react to his tweets on Twitter with some in support of his view while others dragged him for saying it’s Obi’s turn to rule the country.
A tweep, @Muvvido said: “If it’s Nigeria turn then Peter Obi is out the race, because Peter Obi is Ipob, Ipob is Peter Obi.
“Those telling him to step down is to add his little Ipob votes to their PDP vote, Peter Obi is only contesting to make third place.”
@omalichajp disagree with @Muvvido and said: “How many times do u want him to condemn IPOB. Yet u have never ask Atiku, kwankwanso, shettima to condemn herdsmen, Boko Haram, bandits and Etal.”
In the same vein, @Rendezvuz said: “Mumu. IPOB never even do half of the casualties wey Bandits dey do. And the same u dey support banditry to be in our govt. it seems ur parents sent u to school to learn nothing. That’s if u even go sef.”
“Somebody that is advising PO to withdraw never had any good impact in igbo people only his village, he want to come and advise millions of igbo not to support our own ,person way dey ment,because of his selfish oil business werey,” @tobechukwuPrai3 weighed in.
@diplosoft state reason Obi shouldn’t pull out of the presidential race.
“Obi should never withdraw. I want him to be on the ballot so that his failure will be clear for all to see.”
@georgebabs7 tweeted: “I respect Nigerian musicians, artists and celebrities using their platform to effect a change and fight corruption and injustice been perpetrated by these bunch of corrupt selfish heartless politicians like Atiku and Tinubu. Kudos to you guys”
